TONIGHT: North Penn Invites Community To Mini-Thon In Lansdale

LANSDALE, PA -- The North Penn Student Government Association is inviting the Lansdale community to their second annual Mini-Thon event tonight, April 7, at 6 p.m., the school district announced.

The Mini-Thon is based off of Penn State's Dance Marathon, which is the largest of its kind in the nation. The event will raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund, which offsets the cost of treatments for children battling pediatric cancer.

In 2016, the Mini-Thon raised $36,089.

This year, the Thon will be open to the community from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be live music, activities for children, and a chance to create cards to send to pediatric cancer patients.

Admission to this event is $5 per person or $15 for the whole family.

One hundred percent of proceeds from admission, merchandise and food sales along with additional donations collected that evening will go directly to the fundraising efforts, the district said.

The event will be held in the high school gymnasium at 1340 Valley Forge Road.
